Eurovision Rewatch: A Song For Europe 1981 (22:30 BST 17/04)

[lolly]

I'm certainly NOT going to promise you high quality songs, but I will guarantee Wogan scoring fuck ups (yeah sorry, he presents it), a song which I'd completely forgotten Leo Sayer covered and got a top ten hit with a year later, and her from Liquid Gold being even ropier than I remembered. Witness the birth of Jay Aston onto the national stage, and wonder where it all went wrong.

Plus one of the most sinister, chilling things I've ever seen on stage, Eurovision related or otherwise. And I'm including Rosie Ribbons having a bash at The Winner Takes It All, and The Woman In Black in that statement.

After the glitz and glamour of Madonna's The Girlie Show rewatch at 8pm, come on over and witness what passed as primetime light entertainment in the relatively early days Thatcher's Britain.

BABYCHAM AT THE READY, GIRLS

[ButterTart]

Oh fuck, the state of Terry in that still. Humans as a species have never truly conquered hair, have we?

 

[Soldi]

Nice to have an extra rewatch, READY and WAITING

 

[Kala]

The one night I can do this and it is a bit late for me! Have fun though, ladies!

 

[Alla]

 

[Lucille]

Speak for yourself

 

[COB]

Fuck it, let's go - it's only 55 minutes

 

[ButterTart]

Drinks selfie for cheap likes. On the SPRITE tonight because cuntybollocks here decided it would be a good idea to put myself down for a spot of Saturday overtime.

 

[Penelope]

HIIIIIII!

 

[dmlaw]

Well, it's about time. My previous entertainment for this evening didn't have hide nor hair of a ropey key change. Largely because it was Have I Got News For You.

BOTTOM or TOP?

 

[Soldi]

Fuck it, let's go - it's only 55 minutes

We’ll be sat TWIDDLING OUR THUMBS at the end

 

[ButterTart]

BOTTOM or TOP?

Don't bewilder me with your jargon.

 

[Lucille]

BT how have you had a HAIRCUT in the past 4 weeks.

 

[lolly]

OMG

I feel like a ten year old all over again

 

[ButterTart]

I'm feeling quite MASTERFUL after thwarting one of Penny's evil schemes a few minutes ago. I might go and punch a grizzly bear in the face.

 

[ButterTart]

BT how have you had a HAIRCUT in the past 4 weeks.

I've not, I'm just receding at a terrifying rate of knots.

You ARE a GRIZZLY BEAR hun

 

[Soldi]

I've not, I'm just receding at a terrifying rate of knots.

Don’t worry my hairline is also receding too

 

[lolly]

that reminds me, I need to plug the BaByliss in

I may even shave my head at midnight, for shits and giggles

 

[COB]

I'm READY

 

[Alla]

I have absolutely no idea what I'm gonna what, I think my first ASFE was the unforgettable 2005 (nipples, Just vote for me, etc), and haven't seen many more. We'll see.

 

[Soldi]

@COB what flavour rum is it love?

 

[Penelope]

OOOOOOOOO

 

[COB]

And we're off!

 

[lolly]

and we're OFF

 

[Penelope]

SHEPHERDS BUSH

 

[Alla]

That's a wig.

 

[Zu]

I must say I’m liking the masterful interpretation of the manson face courtesy of emerging bottom @ButterTart (who I noticed first years ago so hands off slags)

Also NO FILTER, not that I’m suggesting that everyone else uses them OBVIOUSLY

 

[Soldi]

LIVE and THRILLING indeed

 

[COB]

@COB what flavour rum is it love?

Captain Morgan Original apparently - I'm not a rum person, someone left it here and it's all I have in

 

[COB]

Oh good, minimal Wogan faff! Ish.

 

[Alla]

Oh 8 songs!

 

[Penelope]

SHEPHERDS BUSH

SH£PHERDS MINGE, as ANA MATRONIC would SAY

 

[Kala]

Actually, I'm here. I have this on DVD!

 

[lolly]

Captain Morgan Original apparently - I'm not a rum person, someone left it here and it's all I have in

Any port in a storm

And we're in for a TEMPEST

 

[Soldi]

No POSTCARDS

 

[COB]

Actually, I'm here. I have this on DVD!

Slay!
